UPPER

Upper in Lorica and nylon mesh...
Lorica
It is a Hi-Tech leather made from the most sophisticated technology.
Lorica is a combination of the finest micro-fibres ever produced.
It is water-repellent, permeable to water vapour and resistant to tearing, splitting, scratching and atmospheric agents.
It has a good air-breathin capacity.
Lorica offers exceptional performances and guarantees to the users extraordinary softness and elegance.

Closure system

The wide, anatomical and padded strap has been reduced and coupled to soft, thermoformed material increasing comfort and performance.
It distributes pressure evenly over the arch area, adjustable from both sides for perfect centring. The system eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender.
Used with SL and Caliper buckle straps.
Serviceable and replaceable.

Caliper buckle

The micrometric closure called Caliper buckle is regulated by lifting the central buckle.
In order to completely open, lift together bot side buckles while to slightly loosen the closure during the race the central clip must be lifted.

High security Velcro

High security Velcro straps with integrated locking polymer teeth, that engage onto each other when the strap is closed.
This feature makes the closure more secure and the strap becomes unmoveable.

Heel

The reinforced heel keeps the foot in position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure.

Sole

The NEW Millennium 3 sole is a sleek, modern redesign of the Millennium 2 sole.
By fortifying the sole with carbon fibre, Sidi designers have created a new sole that improves on the technical characteristics of the previous nylon sole.
The Millennium 3 sole is constructed out of injected carbon fibre in a nylon matrix. The infusion of carbon fibre gives the sole 36% more rigidity than the previous Millennium 2 sole. The Millennium 3 sole is also more durable and less susceptible to changes in stiffness resulting from prolonged usage and changes temperature.
The Millennium 3 sole features a new replaceable non-slip polyurethane heel pad. To prevent the screw attaching the heel pad from loosening over time, the heel pad is held in place by two rivets.
The Millennium 3 is compatible with the best road pedals on the market.
To facilitate clear replacement, the Millennium 3 sole features a 10 mm horizontal and vertical cleat alignment scale molded into the sole as well as the Look Memory Eyelet.
